When you release on Mosion, your work is wrapped in the same class of anti-piracy protection the world's biggest streaming services use - from the moment you deliver it to the moment it plays on a viewer's screen. Here's exactly how, in plain language.
The goal is simple: make copying your film harder than it's worth, and make any leak that does happen traceable back to a single account.
Protection isn't a single lock - it's a chain of them, applied in order. Follow a film through the whole path and you'll see there's no point where it's sitting in the open.
The moment you deliver your film, it's encrypted and stored in a private vault. There is no public link to it anywhere - not the video, not the audio. A stranger who somehow found the address gets nothing but a locked door.
Every film is encrypted so that the raw video is useless without a key. Those keys live in a specialist licensing system, not on the file and not in our app. No key, no picture - it's that simple.
When someone presses play, our servers check who they are, that they actually bought a ticket, and that their access hasn't expired - before anything is unlocked. Every decision to allow playback is made by us, on our servers, where it can't be tampered with.
If the checks pass, the viewer's device is granted a short-lived, single-purpose licence to decrypt the film. It's tied to that person and that device, expires quickly, and has to be re-issued to keep watching. A licence borrowed by someone else simply doesn't work.
On phones, tablets and TVs, the actual decoding happens inside hardware the operating system protects - the same secure zone Netflix and Prime Video rely on. The film is never handed to ordinary software where it could be copied.
While it plays, a faint session marker is woven into the experience, unique to that viewer. If a recording ever leaks, that marker helps trace it back to the single account it came from - so a leak has a name attached.
No single technology stops piracy on its own. Real protection comes from stacking them - so if one is ever worked around, the next one is still standing.
The industry standard for locking a film - used by the biggest streamers in the world.
Widevine (Android, Chrome, smart TVs) and FairPlay (Apple devices, Safari) protect every stream. This is the same class of Digital Rights Management technology Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video use. It's on by default for every film - you don't configure anything.
Your film sits in a locked vault, not on a public shelf.
Masters are stored encrypted in a private bucket with no public access. The video can only be reached through our protected delivery path - never by guessing a link or scraping a page.
The web address for the video is single-use and self-destructs.
Every playback link is cryptographically signed and expires within minutes. A copied link stops working almost immediately, and a link with the signature altered is rejected outright by our delivery network.
A stream meant for one viewer can't be replayed by anyone else.
Each delivery link is bound to the specific account and device it was issued to. Requests that don't match - a link shared to a friend, a stream replayed elsewhere - are refused, even if the link hasn't expired yet.
We block the obvious ways people try to record the screen.
In the mobile apps, screen recording and screenshots of a playing film are blocked at the operating-system level. On TVs and monitors, we can require a protected connection (HDCP) so the picture can't be siphoned off through a capture device on the HDMI cable.
Every viewing is quietly signed, so a leak can be traced.
A per-session forensic marker ties any playback to a single account. If a recording surfaces, that marker is the thread that leads back to the source - turning an anonymous leak into an accountable one.
Downloaded films stay locked inside the app.
When a viewer downloads a film to watch offline, it's stored encrypted inside the Mosion app's private storage - not as a normal video file. It can't be found in the gallery, copied out, or opened by any other app.
We refuse to unlock films on tampered devices.
Before playback, we check for signs a device has been jailbroken, rooted or is an emulator - the setups pirates use to bypass protection. On devices that fail security requirements, or that lack proper hardware protection, high-value titles are refused.
The rules can't be edited by a clever viewer.
Who can watch, for how long, at what quality, and whether output protection is required - every one of these calls is made by our backend, the single source of truth. Nothing important is left to the app on the viewer's device, where it could be modified.
Widevine and FairPlay are the DRM systems that guard blockbuster releases on the platforms below. Mosion uses them the same way - so your film is held to the level the whole industry treats as the bar for premium content.
Named for reference only. Mosion is independent and not affiliated with these services.
No system on earth can make a film impossible to record - someone can always point a phone at a screen. Any platform that promises otherwise isn't being straight with you. What world-class protection actually does is remove every easy attack: it stops the file being copied, the stream being ripped, and links being shared, and it makes anything that does slip through low-quality and traceable to one account. That is precisely the standard the major studios depend on - and it's what we've built into Mosion for you.
Yes. The core is Widevine and FairPlay DRM - the two industry-standard systems behind Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+. We pair them with encrypted storage, signed delivery, device binding and forensic watermarking, which is the standard recipe for premium content security.
We make it hard. Inside our mobile apps, screen recording and screenshots of a playing film are blocked by the operating system. On external screens we can require a protected (HDCP) connection to shut down HDMI capture devices. And if a recording ever does escape, the forensic watermark helps trace it back to the account it came from.
Very little. The link expires within minutes and is locked to the original account and device. Someone who receives a shared link finds it already dead, or refused because it doesn't belong to their device.
No. Protection is on by default for every title, on every platform - web, iOS, Android and TV. You deliver a finished film; we handle the encryption, keys, delivery and playback rules automatically.
No honest platform will claim that - anyone can point a camera at a screen. What Hollywood-grade protection does is remove the easy, scalable attacks (copying the file, ripping the stream, sharing a link) and make anything that slips through low-quality and traceable. That's exactly what the major studios rely on, and it's what we've built for you.
Bring us a finished title and we'll set you up as a partner - encryption, DRM, delivery and playback rules included, on every screen your audience owns.
